Perceptual neuroscience

This monumental work by Vernon B. Mountcastle provides a detailed survey of the intrinsic operations of the cerebral cortex, including phylogenetic, comparative, and neuroanatomical studies of the neocortex.

It covers topics such as the large-scale organization of the neocortex, neuronal histogenesis, synaptic transmission, and the binding problem in perception.

The book is a landmark in the literature of neuroscience, offering insights into the thinking of one of the most distinguished neuroscientists and providing a quantitative approach to understanding the cerebral cortex.
